Batteries
The CTX 3030 standard pack is supplied with two types of battery pack:
1. A sealed rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) smart battery, which comes with a
charger (BC 10) that plugs into a conventional wall socket and a car cigarette
lighter socket. This battery pack is supplied partially charged and should be
charged for up to two hours to maximise your rst use. The detector will operate
for up to 13 hours using the Li-Ion battery pack.
2. A replaceable cell pack, which accepts eight AA batteries including alkaline and
rechargeable NiCd or NiMH batteries. The batteries are packed into a cell pack,
which is inserted into the battery cover. The detector will operate for a minimum
of seven hours using an alkaline battery pack
A battery icon displayed on the Control Panel (Status Bar, page 5) indicates the
present charge level, and provides advanced warning of the need to recharge or
replace the battery. The battery charge level is displayed in ve segments, which
will gradually decrease during operation relative to the voltage left in the battery.
When the last segment disappears, the ‘empty battery’ icon will begin to ash and
the battery low sound will emit every 20 seconds. If the detector is still operating at
this time the voltage will drop to a point when a ‘low battery’ message will appear
and the detector will turn itself o.
The Lithium-Ion battery pack provides more accurate remaining time on the battery
indicator.
BC 10 Battery Charger
The BC 10 Battery Charger is supplied with your detector and is used to recharge
the Li-Ion battery pack. The BC 10 operates from the AC plug pack (11 to 30 VDC),
and from typical car (12 V) or truck systems (24 V). A USB connection is provided for
charging the WM 10 (page 53).

Two bi-color LED indicators located on the front panel provide battery charge and
power status information, summarized in Table 38.
NOTE
For best results, the battery pack
must be recharged whenever the
detector has been unused for a
long period of time.
NOTE
The detector regulates the output
voltage so that its performance
remains constant regardless
of the charge remaining in the
batteries.
WARNING
Do not attempt to
disassemble the Li-Ion
battery pack.
If disposing of battery
pack, do not incinerate.
Contact your local
authorities to enquire
about disposal or
recycling facilities.
NOTE
NiMH and NiCd have a lower
voltage than alkaline batteries
and therefore will never display a
fully charged state.
